THE KABBALAH OF TIME:
Kahane and Wainer explain that the calendar is the master key to unlock the hidden rationale behind the formal structure of ancient sacred texts, as well as to understand basic mystical concepts. When comprehended within the context of the Jewish calendar, these works reveal the spiritual energy of each week, serving as a practical guide for self-analysis and development.

Introduction to Potential Book 4a

B"H

Book 4a

In the first
part of the Book of Numbers, Bamidbar,
things are still going smoothly in the desert. The Tribes are counted, and a special
focus on the “prince” of each tribe, the Nassi.
The Princes bring offerings, Aharon lights the Menorah, the Second Passover
takes place, and the formation is set in which the Jews will journey in the
desert. Overall, it’s a general sense of feeling beloved and the eminent
entrance into the Land of Israel.

Book 4a
is also about realizing that we are spiritual in essence, connecting to the Tzadik (the righteous one) within each
one of us, as well as the Tzadik Yesod
Olam, the leaderof the
generation, who is also known as the Nassi.
It is also about being on the level of being able to be confronted with
ideologies and ideas that run counter to Judaism, and being able to reject the
bad but yet elevate the kernel of truth found within them. As mentioned above, that
is also what Bamidbar is about.

Much of
these themes are reflected in the life of King Solomon, the consummate Tzadik, who lays everything before us in
his writings, our spiritual encampment so to speak. As the King of Israel, along
with King David, he is also the ultimate Nassi.

The sets
of 52 explored in this book are as follows:

Hanna’s
story and song is about the making of a Tzadik
and Nassi: Shmuel. It is also about Elkanah and Eli, who were the leaders of
the generation at the time.

Chapter 6 of
Pirkei Avot lays out the
characteristics connected to those who study Torah for its own sake, a stage of
perfection associated with the Tzadik.

The book
also explores the lives of more recent Tzadikim.
Each Tzadik is particularly connected
with the date of his/her passing, in which the soul of the Tzadik reached ultimate completion.

Finally,
we delve into each of the writings of King Solomon, starting with the Book of
Proverbs, followed by Ecclesiastes, Psalm 72 and the Song of Songs. There are
52 chapters in total. An attempt will also be made to describe the Thirteen
Tales of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, which contain similar themes.

The date also marks the yahrzeit of emmissaries Gavriel Noach and Rivky Holzberg, who died "Al Kidush Hashem" (sanctifying G-d's Holy Name), as well as the Rebbe's miraculous recovery from a massive heart attack.
